When I was doing some high mileage last fall 100-130 miles a week. .I would get around 7-8 hours normally. .every once in a while would be 9-10. . but tried to take a nap once or twice a week if I felt worn down.

I currently log around 100 - 110 per week and sleep around 7.5 hours per night during the weekdays. I usually have the same sleep schedule on the weekends, with the addition of a couple of naps thrown in there.

90 to 100 miles, 5 to 6.5 hrs of sleep. Not getting in enough of either. If I had more free time I would use it for sleep before I add more miles. I think I'm maxing out on the amount of miles I can run given the limited sleep I get.

Inverse relationship for me. Demanding job; spending time with wife & 3 kids; coaching youth sports; etc, etc, etc. The only time I can run is early in the morning...so the more miles I want to run, the earlier I need to get up, the less sleep I get. I don't seem to get to bed early either, so I get 7 hours only on a good night.
